Media Sales / Business Development Manager – B2B Digital Publishing (Cape Town / Western Cape)

Location: Cape Town / Western Cape (in-office with some flexibility)
Type: Full-time
Industry: B2B Media & Digital Publishing

About the Opportunity

We’re growing—and looking for a commercially driven Media Sales / Business Development professional to join our team.

This role offers the opportunity to work with an established B2B publication, partnering with corporates, agencies, and industry leaders to deliver high-value digital advertising solutions across multiple platforms.

If you enjoy building relationships, identifying opportunities, and closing meaningful deals—and want to be rewarded for performance—this role offers strong earning potential and long-term growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strong earning potential with competitive base + commission + incentives
• Work with a respected, niche B2B publication and established client base
• Opportunity to build and grow your own portfolio of accounts
• Exposure to decision-makers at leading companies and agencies
• Supportive internal team across editorial, design, and production

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive revenue through digital advertising sales (publications, web, newsletters)
• Build and maintain relationships with clients, agencies, and key decision-makers
• Identify and convert new business opportunities while growing existing accounts
• Develop tailored proposals aligned to client objectives and budgets
• Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting to campaign delivery and renewals
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth campaign execution
• Represent the brand at selected industry events and networking opportunities

Working Style

• Primarily office-based with some flexibility depending on client needs
• Open to candidates based in greater Western Cape
• Travel required for client meetings and events

Earning Structure

We believe in rewarding performance and being transparent:

• Competitive base salary (aligned to experience)
• Uncapped commission structure
• Performance-based incentives and travel allowance

(We’re happy to discuss salary expectations early in the process.)

A Note on the Role

This role includes both new business development and account management. While there is an existing client base, success in this position comes from proactively identifying and developing new opportunities.

Simple Application Process

To apply, please send:

• Your CV
• A short note (a few paragraphs is fine) covering:
  • Your sales experience and key achievements
  • The type of clients or industries you’ve worked with
  • What interests you about this opportunity
